It's a sweet build, but there's no way it'll run under 10. I know a guy with a blown 383 stoker in a 56 chev that'll run mid 11's. That's with about 650hp at the wheels.

What kind of driveline have you got in it?

yeah that car is alot lighter than this one and probabaly has suspension work done to it this car will not run 9sec 1/4 mile i would love to see a video of this car at the track

they were speculating that this car did that, not saying that it does, well. atleast we can hope considering there is not motor in it yet.

read the description dude... motor is in the shop as we speak....


and yes, its not done yet... so how can you judge times on a car thats not done?

Ever watch pass time? Once you've seen a few cars, it isn't that hard. That's why I asked you what's in the rear end. You can't get under 11 without traction bars/4 link ect. without turning you leafs into spaghetti. Nor will you get traction without drag slicks and a posi.

to DHBANSHEE, Thats what I was trying to tell them, that the motor isnt even in the car yet, so it would be silly to judge cars.
and srobinson has a very valid point, its really easy to judge times based on build info, I love that show even though ken always wins.

flag norcokid93 (Oct 31, 2009 at 8:38)
ken doesnt always win, and how can you say this wont be a 9sec car?

flag pS-P-TO-D-Km (Oct 31, 2009 at 9:45)
usually, because without slicks/suspension and a somewhat built motor, that doesn't add up to a 9 second car, even if totally stripped of interior.

flag norcokid93 (Oct 31, 2009 at 10:19)
well not rate now but when its done it could be a 9sec car.

ya, but we were talking about right when the motor gets dropped in.

It might run 10's if he has good suspension work done and has some huge ass slicks on it.
